That's what I realized today.
Seeing how it rains often recently and remembering the TSUYU season in summer last year.
So rain in summer, rain in spring. Winter and fall should have rain by default ==> JA~~N , rain can fall in all seasons of the year in Japan!
So, given the above information, you can guess that umbrellas are very essential to every one living in Japan.
You might imagine the relationship between an umbrella and an individual to be so close to the relation between a samurai and his katana :p
..Actually umbrellas have their own story too!
You will see the different types of rain falls, and different types of umbrellas as well.

On this happy occasion, I guess it's only appropriate for me to introduce this song:

very simple, but moody.
日本はもう梅雨ですか？早いですね。＾＾
とても面白いページをどうもありがとう！
実は、ヨルダンで大雨が降っても、なかなか傘を持つ人が見つけられませんね。どうしてかな？。。
暑い時も、やっぱりシャムシヤ（＝شمسية）が要りますのに、シャムシヤを持つ人はいません。
どうしてかなー（’．’）
すごい
that's why u can see japan in the green color all of the year
Saemon san,

Momiji san,
iie, tsuyu wa mada ^^; Still early for tsuyu, it starts in early June.
people rarely use umbrellas in Jordan when it rains even though it is needed...doushite no kana~ tte watashi mo sou omoimashita!
Iman san,
I think this is true! ^_^
I just saw ur post and I really wish to be in your shoes coz i its really hot here in jordan today, so alittle rain will be very useful.. i am waiting for an email from you telling me details about how things look like in your new world ;)
そうですね、日本にはいろいろな雨がありますね。私は静かな雨の日が好きです。雨の音を聞きながら家で過ごすしたり、きれいな傘をさして散歩したりします。^-^)
Um, I think there are some reasons for not using umbrellas in Jordan
- First and most important, it doesn't rain much in Jordan. Jordan is one of the poorest countries in water.
- Umbrellas are an accessory after all, and Jordan is not as well off as Japan is, so not many people will consider investing in one.
- Can be replaced by a raincoat.
My two yens anyway.

Hiro san,
watashi mo "shizuka na ame" ga suki desu! :) ii ne~
Saemon san,
I can add that if things are a little bit bad than usual, it will turn into a dayoff,, so no need for an umbrella in this case too:p
Enas san,
Thanks a lot for your comment. Let's keep in touch from now on.
Yes, yes, Amani-san,
When it snows and the snow holds for example, with the driving mentality and less-than-good infrastructure in Jordan a lot of disasters can happen, so this is why it is necessary to take the day off...
But we always work an extra day to compensate!
